Because Young Life areas are financially supported solely at the local level, donors are vital to Young Life. Without their support, Young Life would not be able to hire and train staff, provide essential administrative support to the area or help send kids to camp.

We are committed to introducing adolescents to Jesus Christ and helping them grow in their faith. Young Life also aims to establish and maintain a presence at all high schools and middle schools in the local area.

However, in order to do this a foundational, structured framwork needs to be set in place.  Included in this are budgetary needs; this is a breakdown of our funding goals for the current year:

LOCAL AREA GIVING       $86,400
Brunch, General Giving, Year End Giving…
STAFF PERSONAL SUPPORT      $35,000
Support Raised Outside Lake County
CHURCHES        $10,000
Support from local churches
CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP      $8,000
Support from businesses or corporations to help
underwrite fund raising
GOLF MARATHON       $55,000
Support raised from golfers playing 100 holes
TOTAL CONTRIBUTIONS     $200,000

We believe that in order to reach kids we must go where they go and enter their world. Every week in our local area, Young Life staff and volunteers can be found at school events and practices and at kids' favorite hangouts. In many cases, they are the only adult friends kids have in their lives. Our work could not be done without your support. We are grateful for your gift to Young Life. Thank you for all you do to help us reach generations of kids who desperately need to hear a message of hope.
